Avatarshop back in bussiness

Oh damn , I just realised. It doesn't alter the one in PSP, that is still the nasty red one. It saves a copy of the file, with the transparency. Open that version in PSP to see it properly.

The image corruption is GIF compression. Pity you cant have transparent JPEGs really. As long as it looks alrigth as an avatar, its ok.

Hmmm. When I use the eraser I sometimes got the red background and sometimes the checkerboard. After saving I always reloaded the image to see what happened. Any of these who's transparency has 'worked' appears to have the red background in it when re-viewing in PSP.

Gif compression eh? Hmm again. I always thought gifs were the best cause there was no compression corruption? Does it merely happen when doing transparent images?

My PSP has no manual and I find it to be an awfully difficult program to use w/o it. Sometimes when I am trying to draw a one pixel line, it will affect 2 or 3 pixels in every direction:

Example of drawing a red line on white background. Sometimes it will work and I get a singular red line, other times it is a line of lighter-than-supposed-to-be red, with pink squares all along either side. As if it is trying to auto-blend the two together.

So therefore I often use a combo of PSP and M$Paint... which probably causes more problems then it solves.

Do a Google search on "PSP (or Paintshop) tutorials" and you'll be an expert in no time. That's how I found my way around a lot of progs

Could you resize this? Make it only a face shot if necessary.

Here's what I ended up with after 2 minutes of work...I have a test in a few minutes...

How do I get an animated gif to work as my avatar?
Here's the link...

Argh!

I can't get to the .gif from that link; looks like they've disabled hotlinking. to get it to work, you'll need to right-click it, save it as a gif on your computer, and then upload it to apolyton as your avatar.

[SuperSneak]

Hmmm...I thought I did that...but I only get a still image, no animation....hmmmm.

Let's see, does this work?

damn I really want a pipboy picture for my avatar.

I tried doing this a few months back with no luck

I have photodeluxe and for some reason it increases the file size. I can't get it below 10,000.

If it was a bmp file I could use MS Paint. That keeps files fairly small.

Here's the only decent color picture I have found so far.

I would like to get rid of the No obviously. maybe replace it with a human skull.

Can anyone help?

[Dis]

pain in the ass. I was able to get it down to this using MS Paint, but Apolyton doesn't accept bitmap files. Doh!

anyways it looks too small and distorted (I had to shrink it less than 80 X 80 and get it less than 10,000 kb). I don't know how you guys keep your avatars looking so good.

[Dis]

this is the original bmp

Doh! I forgot it doesn't display bitmaps. What does Apolyton have against bitmaps?

Here is Htower

Hows this, Dissident??
Its 107 x 140, 5.58 kb .jpg = small
